Re: Remand of SPP 12-000138 to the Windward Planning_ Commission
Dear Chair Replogle:
This letter is being submitted on behalf of Connections New Century Public
Charter School (Connections) and in response to your letter dated July 6, 2021 requesting
a brief on the following issue: "[w]hether the Commission should make a decision on the
record as presented or open the record and consider new evidence." I have conferred
with Ted Hong, Esq. on this matter, and he will be submitting a thorough legal brief on
this subject. Connections joins and supports CBESS's position.
Connections would also like to emphasize that the need for additional evidence is
unwarranted in this case and requests that the Commission makes its decision based on
the direction and mandate provided by the Intermediate Court of Appeals.
V"T -W s,
C$rteYK. Siu
Deputy Attorney General
